"In an era of existential economic gloom across the European Union, one of the larger EU member states has been consistently posting positive numbers: Poland. A growth rate of almost 3% in gross domestic product for 2024 put Poland ahead of the overall EU rate of 1%, topping even those ofthe bloc's two largest economies, France and Germany. France recorded a rate of 1.2%; Germany suffered a -0.2% contraction. The signs for 2025 are also positive."
"Poland did not become an overnight economic-success story. Since it joined the European Union in 2004, Poland's average annual GDP growth has been almost 4%, a rate that has largely accelerated over the past decade. Yet there is particular momentum at present. Poland's stock market has been surging, and optimism is growing around its capacity to develop into one of the European Union's most robust and dynamic economies."
Poland recorded almost 3% GDP growth in 2024, ahead of the EU average of 1%, France at 1.2%, and Germany's -0.2% contraction. Second-quarter growth of 0.8% placed Poland among the top performers in the EU, with forecasts near 3.3% for 2025 and 3% for 2026. Since joining the EU in 2004, average annual GDP growth has been almost 4% and real GDP doubled over two decades, with acceleration in the past decade. Current momentum includes a surging stock market and growing optimism about Poland becoming one of the EU's most robust economies. Poland's population is 37 million and the economy ranks just inside the top 20.
